Aged in a select Stagg Jr. bourbon barrel, this beer expresses a well spirited barrel presence. Fruit leather liveliness gives it buoyancy against the stickier classic notes of honey, vanilla, caramel and rolo. A beautifully balanced and refined entry in our Bere series.

poured from a 500mL bottle into a perennial snifter. pours like thick port wine with a minimal amount of fizzy head. dark ruby red edges. huge bourbon barrel, oak, figs, raisins, caramel and toffee on the nose. quite the bouquet of smells on this one. taste follows but with a huge vanilla sweetness. this could almost pass as a vanilla bean barleywine it’s that sweet. and it’s good but perhaps that is attributed to the bourbon barrel and maybe with a little time in the bottle that will mellow out. it’s still really tasty and bourbon forward. thick mouthfeel. even as it warms it maintains a full mouthfeel with a lower level of carbonation. it’s syrupy thick but not gloppy. really good barleywine.
